A great location opposite Union station and very historic. We upgraded to fairmont gold which gave us a dedicated reception and concierge team as well as silver service breakfast, cakes at tea time, followed by appetisers and then desserts. The room was well decorated, very comfortable and looked over Union station and the Islands. Location is not far from anywhere,...

I'm an 83 year old veteran and use a walker to get around. This hotel did not have an elevator when entering/existing - but did have many stairs. As an elderly traveler, I would have appreciated being told of this prior to booking our room. Existing and entering was difficult - having to carry my walker up and down stairs....

The hotel is conveniently located near the entertainment, arts, and business districts and union station. It is an amazing historic building. The common areas, bars, and restaurants are gorgeously decorated. My room was dated but comfortable. The staff was very helpful.

This is a lovely hotel. Unfortunately it is using the fact that it is undergoing major renovation to get customers to upgrade instead of offering free upgrades.
Rooms are small and soundproofing is poor. Can easily hear people in the next room or the elevators if close to one. Trains as well but hotel says you can't hear them.
Remember...

I just completed a stay at the Royal York I was impressed. I have stayed here many times over the years (Fairmont Presidents Club member) and each visit you could see how the hotel was slowly fading, but this visit totally turned me around. I stayed in one of the newly remodeled rooms on the 8th floor and was very...

I loved the historic nature of this hotel. Lots of pictures and stories line the walls of an exceptionally well preserved hotel. The rooms are nicely updated and still fit the ambiance. The service was excellent.

Staying in Downtown West

Neighbourhood Profile

Downtown West

Downtown West is home to Toronto's gorgeous Inner Harbor, and is a must-visit for lovers of art and the outdoors. The area's rich cultural heritage is celebrated by a number of monuments and museums, giving the neighborhood a mature feel. As a premier destination for modern art, people here stroll through the cool contemporary pieces at the Power Plant, enjoy the outdoor installations along Queen's Quay and Canoe Landing, and picnic among the zany designs of the Toronto Music Garden. The waterfront itself is often suffused with bikers and joggers, and the harbor is always packed with classic ships with masts raised. The vintage boats and ferries to the Toronto Islands make for a charming contrast against Downtown West's backdrop of skyscrapers, condos, and food trucks serving up hot, fresh fare to locals on the go. The area has a peaceful energy, and is popular with tourists and Torontonians alike.
